• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop onion and garlic. Thinly slice button mushrooms.
• In a large frying pan, heat 1/2 the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and mushrooms, stirring, until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic, garlic & herb seasoning and arborio rice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the water and vegetable stock powder to the rice and bring to the boil. • Transfer the risotto to a baking dish, then cover tightly with foil and bake until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes. TIP: 'Al dente' means the rice is cooked through but still has a bit of firmness in the middle.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop roasted hazelnuts and tomato. Thinly slice cucumber. • In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey and a small drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. • Add tomato, cucumber and 1/2 the baby spinach leaves to the dressing. Set aside.
• When the risotto is done, stir through grated Parmesan cheese, remaining butter and remaining baby spinach. Season to taste. TIP: Stir through a splash of water if the risotto looks dry.
• Toss salad to combine. • Divide mushroom and Parmesan risotto between bowls. • Garnish with hazelnuts. Serve with cucumber and tomato salad. Enjoy!
